The 15th century was one of astonishing and almost uninterrupted artistic achievement in the area controlled by the Dukes of Burgundy and referred to as the Burgundian Netherlands. This area included the current countries of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and a portion of northern France. Netherlandish artists extended the boundaries of painting until they seemed as limitless as the blue-tinged mountains of the distant horizons in their paintings. Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden became the most renowned painters in Europe, van Eyck acquiring legendary status perfecting the technique of oil paint and almost impossible representation of minute detail, practices that clearly distinguish Northern art from Italian art as well as art from the preceding centuries. Works by these masters were sought by princes and merchants throughout Europe, who prized them for their remarkable qualities of verisimilitude, their technical and coloristic virtuosity, and their heightened expressive power. In this docent-led talk we’ll focus on how Netherlandish artists achieved their common goal - to make the painted image vividly present and to render the unseen palpable.

This July, Sparks Gallery will transform into a collaborative space to showcase several other San Diego galleries under one roof in a short-term take-over of Sparks Gallery. Sparks Gallery owner Sonya Sparks explains, “Our aim through this collaborative pop up is to bring together a diverse community of local arts agents into a unified, collective effort to showcase the full range of talent that each gallery represents. Think of it as a mini fair. Because we usually hold a takeover event for Comic Con each July, and Comic Con was cancelled for the second year in a row, we wanted to pull our art community together during this difficult time.” This in-person exclusive event (not available online) will adhere to current state and city regulations at the time of the event.
